Employee engagement surveys are a powerful tool to help you understand how your people regard the organisation and to promote positive change.

Burton OD has over ten years experience in the field and can help you design, run and follow up your own unique survey.

This is how a typical project goes:

Develop Survey

The senior management team agrees what it is trying to achieve overall with the survey and commits to supporting it with positive communications and follow-up.

The consultant - expert in the theory and practice of employee engagement - works with appropriate members of the team to identify the detailed topics to be researched and what demographic groupings. This development phas can involve a limited number of interviews or focus groups with employees across the business to identify their concerns.

An implementation plan geared to achieving the highest possible return rate is developed.

Implement the Survey

The survey is distributed in paper and/or electronic formats and returns are made directly to Burton OD to guarantee confidentiality.

Responses are entered and response rates checked to ensure that all parts of the business are taking part at acceptable levels.

Analyse Results

Results are analysed, using state of the art software. The consultant analyses results across the business and look at trends over time to identify key themes.

Presentation and Reporting

Results are presented back to the senior team, with a consultant commentary highlighting the key themes and conclusions. Reports are provided for the organisation as a whole and for individual parts of the business.

The headline results are communicated back to employees as early as possible.

Action Planning

Action planning is facilitated at organisational and departmental levels as required.
